  • About this item

If you are thinking of an eReader the new Kobo Glo is a great choice. Its revolutionary ComfortLight illuminates the screen with a soft, adjustable glow so you can read any eBook at any time of day under the perfect light — no lamp required. Kobo Glo’s 6" high-res XGA E Ink Pearl touchscreen is ultra-thin and durable so nothing gets between you and your eBook, not even the brightest sunlight (or a little scratch). It’s just like reading print on paper.


Typography experts have created the ultimate font exclusively for Kobo. It leaves more ink on the screen so words appear sharper and crisper than ever before. Or create your own ideal reading experience with a choice of 7 additional font styles and 24 sizes, adjustable weight and sharpness settings, and the power to set your own margins.


Browse your library, look up words, and switch between screens quickly, easily, and intuitively with Kobo Glo’s highly responsive touchscreen. Plus, Kobo Glo is so lightweight you’ll almost forget you’re holding a device.


Never worry about your battery dying mid-chapter; a single charge on the Kobo Glo lasts up to a month so you can read as long as you want.(Battery life depends on individual usage, so actual results may vary).


Sort your eBooks alphabetically, by title, or by author name just as you would a physical bookshelf (sorry, colour coordinating isn’t available on the Kobo Glo). Plus, it’s super easy to keep track of your favourites with large cover images, multiple views, and custom lists. Now you just have to fill your library with eBooks!


Dimensions : 113.9mm x 157.4 mm x 10mm (4.5in x 6.2 in x 0.39 in). Weight 185g
